Book (stand-alone)Practical guide on how to eliminate gender-based violence and protect rural communities through food security and agriculture interventions
Guidance for FAO staff and partners

No results found.Gender-based violence is a pervasive, persistent and global reality. Increasingly, it affects the environments where the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) operates, with impacts on agricultural and rural development, food security and nutrition, and rural poverty. Humanitarian emergencies, hunger, malnutrition and poverty tend to increase the prevalence of gender-based violence, which, in turn, undermines households, communities, and national food security and nutrition by impacting people’s livelihoods, health, skills and knowledge. This significantly reduces the resilience of survivors and weakens their capacity to be productive workers, earners and carers for the next generation, setting off a terrible circle of violence. With the new emerging global challenges and cries, including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts and climate change – poverty, food insecurity and gender-based violence are exacerbating. This called for a new updated guidance that addresses the new and intertwined challenges the world is now facing. This guidance is meant to support country offices, FAO staff and strategic partners in the fight against any form of gender-based violence, facilitate the integration of protection issues in an FAO project cycle, and support the collection and analysis of data disaggregated by sex and other social variables for generating the evidence for policy-making and planning of gender-responsive and gender-transformative interventions. The guide provides the needed tools and promising approaches and experiences of the last decade used successfully to address GBV and eliminate protection risks in the field. It is a continuing project that will evolve as FAO accumulates experiences and lessons learned in an ever-changing working environment. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDimitra Clubs: Leaving no one behind through community engagement and women’s empowerment 2023

No results found.The world is not on track in making the pledge of leaving no one behind a reality, particularly in rural areas where most of the extreme poor live. Rural people in low-income countries increasingly face structural constraints in seizing socio-economic and political opportunities. In addition, gender discriminatory social norms prevent rural women and girls from realizing their full potential as leaders and economic agents, constraining the livelihoods and well-being of entire rural societies. In this context, development and humanitarian actors tend to overlook the use of community engagement and gender-transformative approaches, despite the fact that these are cost effective and have high returns. Considering these pressing challenges, it is of paramount importance to promote collective action at community level – ensuring ownership and sustainability – to trigger transformative changes in terms of gender equality, women’s leadership and social inclusion.
